Critical Needs. Immediate Action.
SERB is a fast-growing global specialty pharma company designed to address rare and urgent conditions by delivering life-saving medicines when time and complexity leave no room for failure.
We operate end-to-end across 100+ countries, ensuring 70+ essential medicines for rare diseases, emergency care, and medical countermeasures reach patients and clinicians with urgency – wherever and whenever they are needed. Shaped over the past 25 years by an entrepreneurial, disruptive spirit, SERB combines the focus and agility of a biotech with the scale, reach, and reliability of a global pharmaceutical company — always grounded in medical purpose, not corporate convention.
Our 600+ employees are driven by three core values:
- Patients first, always
Patients are not a concept — they are why we act, especially when time matters most.
- Impact focused
We are agile, entrepreneurial, and disciplined - working smart and learning continuously to deliver results that matter, with the consistency, quality, and trust that critical care demands.
- Team powered
We go the extra mile - together - because our shared commitment drives extraordinary outcomes.
Guided by a clear ambition and a relentless focus on patients, SERB continues to expand through selective, innovative acquisitions, launching new treatments and entering new geographies. Across every step — from integration to delivery — our people act with passion, ownership, and determination to ensure life-saving medicines become available to patients who need them, worldwide.
Broad Overview
As Talent Sourcer, you are the engine behind SERB’s talent pipeline. Reporting to the Global TA Manager, you spend your time identifying and first-approaching candidates in support of the recruiters. Your focus is the front of the funnel: you find, engage and qualify the best talent, then pass them to the recruiter who takes the role through to offer. Your partners work across SERB’s international teams — the Global TA Manager and the country HR teams.

- Build and maintain talent pipelines for open, recurring and future roles.
A shared engine across the function

- Comfortable working with data; able to create, analyze, and leverage simple dashboards and key performance indicators (KPIs).
